Boat trip worth remembering - We loved the boat, we think it was the perfect choice, and the cruise was wonderful and we had a great skipper. We had members of all ages onboard and each of us enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend it!

Serenity on the lagoon - My wife and I were running several minutes behind our scheduled cruise time due to traffic and road construction on the N2. The staff called to ensure we were on our way and aided us in finding the dock and even waited for our arrival. The staff were friendly, professional, and truly hospitable. Our skipper was an exceptional guide and had immense knowledge of the region. The scenery was quite stunning and an excellent cruise overall. Highly recommend if you are looking for serenity on the water.

Great boat tour on the Coquette to the Knysna Heads. - We did a great tour in a small group to the Knysna Heads, met nice people and our skipper Anuti (?? Unfortunately I forgot the name again 🙈) was great! He told a lot and nicely! I can only recommend him and his crew! LG 🌻 Freya from Germany.
